The Wrestler starring Mickey Rourke just won big an the Venice Film Festival.  Is Mickey Rourke the reason The Weinstein Company just announced a Nov. 7 release date for Killshot?  He’s DAMN good in Killshot and Harvey knows it.

Everybody is still saying the information is bogus.

VENICE, Italy (AP) — Darren Aronofsky’s “The Wrestler” won the top award at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday.

The film awarded the Golden Lion stars Mickey Rourke as a wrestler forced into retirement who strikes up a romance with an aging stripper played by Marisa Tomei.

In “The Wrestler,” Rourke plays a fighter with heart problems who tries to reconnect with his estranged daughter while feeling the dangerous allure of a return to the ring.

German filmmaker Wim Wenders, who headed the jury for the 65th edition of the storied festival, announced the winning movie and played on the lead character’s heart problems to praise Rourke’s work, which he called “a truly heartbreaking performance, in the very sense of the word.”
